What is life? How are we meant to live this life? Why am I here? What’s it all for? Questions that I ask myself often but only because I have hacked my life and in doing so created space to allow time for reflection. Do you have the time for yourself or do you find life passing by quick as you speed from one task to the next? Chasing one rabbit and only in catching it chasing the next for what you thought it would bring didn’t eventuate. This book will give you some insight into how to avoid some of these traps of life and how to stay grounded.
Pedram is very passionate about what he speaks and shares and this makes the read that much more enjoyable and drives his message through powerfully. He doesn’t cover one niche in life because the truth is life isn’t niche. If you focus purely on health you may lower your guard on other critical aspects that help lead to living a more successful, happy and peaceful life. In my opinion we need to work on all aspects of life because one alone will not lead us to the goal of existence we truly desire.
Covering topics on sleep, time, creating space and mindfulness, Pedram shares great insight on the problems we face in the urban lifestyle and then the hacks that can assist to solve these. They are hacks that avoid the need for excuse or reason as to why we can’t both live in this world we have created while still leading a peaceful and healthy existence.
If the ultimate goal in life is to be happy, and I believe this is the truth, then we need to adopt the behaviours that allow this to emerge. The society we live in seems to do the opposite. It poisons us. We need to disconnect from the reality that is, reconnect to ourselves and nature and then we will be better off when we reconnect.
Great book and well worth a read. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts.
